‘Mother Nature thinks people should shut down’: why we’re so unmotivated in winter
It’s normal to have low energy in the colder months – but for some, seasonal affective disorder can shut down their lives
One dark and dreary February, I was bemoaning my lack of motivation. My therapist said this was perfectly normal.
“I just want to stay inside under a blanket in the winter,” she said. It didn’t bother her because she knew that, come spring, she would feel more motivated. This was actually quite a productive insight for me, so maybe she wasn’t giving her winter abilities enough credit.
